Saturated hydraulic conductivity is a quantitative measure of a saturated soil's ability to transmit water when subjected to a hydraulic gradient. It can be thought of as the ease with which pores of a saturated soil permit water movement.

How did you mean by saturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
Word describing layer of rock that transmits water freely?
This would be an aquifer. The rock itself would be described as being permeable or having a high hydraulic conductivity.
What does saturated mean with regard to the weather?
the word saturated means the air is holding all of the water it possibly could.
What does electrical conductivity mean in science?
That means how good something conducts electricity.
What does it mean to have high electrical conductivity?
It means that material conducts electricity well
Why is vertical hydraulic conductivity smaller than horizontal hydraulic conductivity?
Gravity
What is a rocks ability to allow water to pass through?
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
A rocks ability to allow water to pass through is called a what?
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
What is the difference between an infiltration rate and a hydraulic conductivity?
It seems that infiltration rate is a soil parameter which is determined in the field with all soil aspects. However, hydraulic conductivity is determined in the lab and it is not typically illustrated soil permiability as compared with infiltration rate
Is marbalite waterproof?
Cementuous materials are not waterproof. Hydraulic cement is the closest they come, but even it becomes saturated.
What is difference between hydraulic conductivity and permeability?
Permeability is a measure of how well a porous media transmits a fluid. It has nothing to do with the fluid itself. It is measure in (length)2. The Hydraulic Conductivity is a measure of how easily water moves through the porous media. It depends on the permeability of the matrix, but also is a function of the fluid. It is a measure of (length)/(time)
What does the saturated dog mean?
Saturated means completely wet. A saturated dog is one that is sopping wet.
How do you calculate factor of safety against quick condition?
FS= critical hydraulic gradient/exist hydraulic gradient icr=(saturated unit wt - water unit wt)/water unit wt
What is does saturated mean?
a saturated solution is a one in which no more solute can be dissolved at that temperature.
What is a measure of a material ability to transmit fluids through interconnected pore spaces?
Hydraulic conductivity is the property of a material that describes how easily a fluid will flow through it.
What does sediment mean in geography?
A saturated sediment is a saturated sediment dah It's easy
What doseThermal conductivity mean?
the ability to conduct heat.
